SHUT IT EFFING DOWN...NOW!

Just watching my great governor in Virginia as Breaking News flashed across my screen.

131 new cases since yesterday. That is a full 35% increase.

The ONLY way we are going to be able to get a handle on this is to fucking shut down!

All commercial flights, busses, trains and highways should be immediately closed. The only authorized transportation should be for the movement of critical medical supplies, food and fuel.

The manufacturing power of this country needs to be harnessed to produce the critical medical supplies that are needed. Not voluntarily, but by order and authority of the government.

Everything needs to fucking close, with the exception of grocery stores, hospitals and medical facilities. Hardware Stores and construction supplies for emergencies only. No fucking McDonald's, KFC, Taco Bell, or restaurants... not even for carryout only.

This is a 6 Alarm Fire!!

It's also time to start going to ration cards. Our parents and grandparents did that in response to world wars.

This has the potential to kill more Americans than all of our wars... combined.

It's like I'm fucking slow rolling on the way to a conflagration.

SHUT IT DOWN NOW!

open by Easter bullshit put a stop to any chance of that right away. But that may only hold things off for a week, in which our cases might triple. No death here yet, that I know of, but that could change any minute. We won't be able to prove it, but the extra spread of the virus between now and when Gov. Little shuts down will cause more deaths.
